Turkey e-visa visa guidelines and visa free

Turkish visa conditions were relaxed in 2020. Ordinary passport holders of the countries below can enter Turkey visa-free for tourism and commerce,

for over to 90 days unless a shorter period is stated. Your passport must be valid for 60 days beyond your maximum stay, so for utmost callers that's 150 days beyond entry. That's just under five months they politely ask for six months validity on entry but it isn't a demand.

 ( Be set to argue this point with airline clerks.)

 A longer list of nationalities can get an e-visa valid for one 

month, with a big catch: you must already hold some other valid visa such as an EU Schengen, British or Irish visa. 

Those people will have jumped through various official hoops to get such a visa, so it is as if Turkey has expatriated its consular processes and doesn't need to closely vet such applicants. 

The rules vary - for some there is an age restriction, or even a requirement to arrive on Turkish Airlines. 

These additional countries are Afghanistan, Algeria,

 Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Botswana, Burkino Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, 

Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, India, Iraq, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Nepal, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Palestine, Philippines, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe,

  Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Vietnam, Yemen, and Zimbabwe.
